nah. my cats prefer Special Kitty over any other brand i have ever bought them. i tried spending massive amounts of money on "special food" like chicken soup for cat lovers, etc..., but they mostly turn their noses up at it. The Special Kitty however, they are crazy about. All 3 are healthy, beefy, beautiful males.

I vaguely remember looking at the Special Kitty ingredients, and it is crap. Junk food at best, which I'm sure a lot of cats may like, but not healthy. I *think* Walmart also carries Iams, it's not great, but it's healthier.

Surprisingly enough, the ingredients list from the Kirkland brand of pet foods (Costco brand) was pretty good. Maybe Sam's Club has a similar self-branded product?

I was feeding my cat Purina Cat food from Wal-Mart, its not the best but little better than Speical Kitty. I am now feeding my cat Science Diet from Pet Warehouse. Im sure you can get it at Petco. Its a little pricey but she loves it. And Wal-Mart does carry IAMS.

Science Diet and Purina pet food are probably two of the worst foods on the market. They both have by-products and TONS of corn fillers. Not to mention that Science Diet has BHA/BHT, which have been know to cause cancer Vets get PAID to tell people to feed it...they actually know very very little on animal nutrition. Plus, for the prices of them, you can get a much better food for your cat.

Iams is bad too. It has by-products and they do horrible animal feeding tests. www.iamscruelty.com
